FTFA "However, your push to release entire transcripts from witness interviews while the investigation remains active was reckless and threatened to undermine the integrity of the Committee's investigation."

Karac:Releasing quote-mined excerpts is OK, but letting it all out into the light of day is dangerous?

I could get the argument that the testimony should be private in an investigation had it not been for him releasing the sections that were potentially damning to the administration. If you're worrying about tipping your hand to a potential suspect, then the LAST thing you want to release is that one of the guys said he got a file on one of the Tea Party groups and was told "Washington wants results." Instead, that's the ONLY part he released publicly? And opposition members of the committee say one of the witnesses confessed to his involvement in the decision-making process and Issa says "if we release his testimony it will taint the investigation"?

Must control the message, after all. Next year's an election year, and if Issa actually released the transcripts of the expensive witch hunt he and his friends conducted (and at which they failed to find anything they could exploit), well, the message could very well end up "Republicans halt government and waste money grinding axes", not "TEH HILLARY IS TEH SUCK!"
